It is important that while dogs are on private property that dog owners take responsible care and control of their dog by having the dog on a leash and picking up after your dog.

Dog Owners Urged to Leash Up Their Dogs

The City of Pitt Meadows is urging residents to leash up their dogs in public spaces and dykes. The City's Animal Control Bylaw prohibits dogs from being off-leash in any public spaces other than designated off-leash parks.
